Tag has inexplicably become this year's hottest VR game

“I was wall climbing and chasing a monkey, got waaay too immersed and full on slammed the shit out of it against a bedside table,” says HeyoooWhatsUpBitches, a user from the Gorilla Tag subreddit who smashed their Oculus Quest 2 controller during a particularly intense play session of Gorilla Tag. Take a glance at the subreddit and it’s not the only story about a broken controller or injury you’ll find about Gorilla Tag, a free VR game that has quickly become one of the VR’s biggest hits. 

Another Axiom’s simian simulator has had more than 300,000 unique players since its launch in February, with 2,896 peak concurrent players recorded across Steam VR and the Oculus Quest in May. This may seem small by general gaming metrics but within the virtual reality ecosystem, these are silverback numbers. For some context, VR’s ubiquitous rhythm slasher Beat Saber has only ever had 4,472 players at one time on Steam.
